As the title suggests, we pull Tapatya out of the shed and into the open air!

This is the story of the building of a Jay Benford designed, 31.8ft, junk schooner-rigged cruising sailboat. The videos are a week-by-week record of the build as it progresses and aim to show as much detail as possible of the various aspects of the build.

These videos take a lot of time and effort to make, in what is already a time-intensive project. Your support in watching, subscribing and sharing these videos is very much appreciated. You make a real difference!!

hi i'm tony

sv to patio we are building a cruising

sailboat and

um i have a feeling it's been a good

week this week we've got quite a bit

done

you know how it is maybe some weeks you

you feel like you've

worked a lot but there's not much to

show and other weeks

you feel like you've achieved something

significant and and it's been one of

those weeks this week so

let's go in the boat shed another look

walk this way

oh

what's happened where's your gun is it

shrunk

six

six six

[Music]

we see it all in black and white

[Music]

i'll make the

[Music]

is

so

[Music]

a little bit wrong stop perfect

okay you may need food

uh

good let's go another look around

[Applause]

straightforward

jack into the ground

on

[Music]

okay

[Music]

[Music]

uh

[Music]

okay

[Music]

there's

so

what's up

[Music]

so

[Music]

here we are out under the open sky

first time ever out of the shed she's

lovely it's great to see her out in

there

in the open air as i say in the light

we'll go inside in a minute and have a

look inside the light inside is just

totally different and very nice to see

i'm quite pleased with it the technique

was simple enough we just pulled her

forwards with this

come-a-long winch which is brilliant

piece of kit

attach one into the tow bar of the car

kerry sat in the car with a foot on the

brake

and that gives enough resistance to be

able to pull her out on the rollers

sometimes a bit of heaving involved but

um come out fine i've got

a sort of wooden frame underneath the

boat which has been sat on it's still

part of the old um

strong back it's been sat on all the

time and

just put these fence posts underneath

them as rollers with about two inch

diameter i guess

but just rollers fed them in from the

front and they got to the back we took

them out

and yeah pleased

it was fairly tight at the top there in

terms of height

i took the hatch turtle off the stove

chimney i took off

the aft and through mast fittings i took

off so we'd have enough

clearance there but come out then fine

so put the chimney back on fitted that

properly now and we also installed that

aft

mast fitting

[Applause]

so

[Music]

[Applause]

um

where's the punch mark there goes that

way around

almost

somewhere around there nowhere near

there

it should be alive that should be it

right

it's good yep

good yep

yep

[Applause]

so

okay

and then the next thing i wanted to do

was to start thinking about the bimini

and

and um you know you can do what you like

in terms of

looking at the drawings and that which

of course you do do but

for me i need to visualize it in reality

as well so

i mocked up a very cheap and nasty

looking bit of

batons and ply to mock up the bimini

and that's done i've now gone ahead and

ordered the stainless to make it in in

reality

and there we are inside and i hope you

get a feeling

of the of the light in here is it's just

completely different was in the shed

these two bullseye port lights there

are glowing no matter what direction the

sun's in that they seem to transmit the

light really well

obviously the two hatches in the deck

there

the ports around the sides

the the light in there is is really good

really happy with it and it brings out

the colors of the wood very nicely

looking great in here we've got a few

things to do

i should be trying to get on with those

this week i think

doors covered doors and perhaps the

actual door and the heads

trim around the bottom here and fiddles

ready for the upholstery

um one or two bits to do i've

made the very first start you'll see it

next week on the

hatch the motor room hatch there and

there's various bits of wiring and

connections to do in the motor room as

well which i

hope to be getting on with uh in the

very near future

you know having her outside now is a

whole new ball game

very exciting obviously i've got the

railings bimini

those sort of things to do deck fittings

um but clearly you know other things

that i've been talking about for a while

mast musts can now be built in the shed

i've now got room enough in the shed to

build the masts

and the keel construction i think i'll

do the mass first kill after that

um and then clearly we've got to think

about hanging the rudder

and uh and then we'll be getting there

won't we

getting quite exciting

but a big thank you from me to the good

people who support this project on
